This is an outdoor festival, held on athletic fields. There is no vehicular access to these fields, so please be prepared to load your items to and from your booth space. Additional options are available to allow for an easier set up and breakdown for vendors. Please see the listing of available "Add On" options while registering.

The Hanover Tomato Festival committee cannot prevent vendor duplication of arts and crafts products. We will do our best to keep similar booths separated.
